The exploitation of buffer overflow vulnerabilities in process stacks constitutes a significant portion of security attacks in recent years. We present a new method to detect and handle such attacks. In contrast to previous work, our method does not require any modification to the operating system and works with existing binary programs. Our method does not require access to the source code of defective programs, nor does it require recompilation or off-line processing of binaries.

Not only it stops buffer overflows from compromising your machine, but also enable you to perform a stack analysis by freezing the application while the exploit is happening.
